Total Solar Eclipse

On April 8, from approximately 2 to 4:30 p.m., Hamilton County will experience the Total Solar Eclipse, with totality at 3:06 p.m. and lasting three minutes and thirty seconds in Fishers. Central Indiana anticipates 500,000+ visitors to view the eclipse.

Be Prepared

• With anticipated additional traffic, motorists should travel with emergency preparedness in mind. Locations that have experienced a total solar eclipse previously experienced heavy, often standstill, traffic.
• Because of anticipated video streaming, social media usage, and calls in a relatively small, concentrated area, those in the path of totality should anticipate loss in communications or poor service.
• Follow City of Fishers social media channels for up-to-date info up to and on the day of the eclipse and visit ThisisFishers.com/Eclipse for more info.

Public Safety

• Fire and Police will be stationed throughout the city in various locations to alleviate travel distances for emergency response in the event of heavy traffic.
• Fishers Parks will be open to pedestrian traffic only to encourage residents to visit neighborhoods or local parks instead of adding vehicles to roadways. Geist Waterfront Park will be closed.
• Cumberland Road will experience limited, local access only on April 8 to keep a clear thoroughfare for public safety.
• City Services Building will be closed to in-person business. Assistance will be available via phone at 317-595-3111.
